What are the results of building a healthy ecosystem?
Psychological Needs are Met
It doesn’t take a genius to do these basic things because they’re conscious decisions. Getting payroll right and on-time seems simple, yet many companies fail on such basics. Making sales calls and fulfilling orders sounds basic, but it’s not if the wrong mindset types are in charge. As the business grows, the capacity of people doing the basics must elevate. Great companies hire people who can execute the basics very well, in greater levels of complexity as the company succeeds.
Safety and Security Needs
Do you feel safe and secure at work? Great companies provide mental safety and security. People give opinions and offer up better ideas and when things go bad if they are not hung out to dry. They hire empathetic and disciplined people to fulfill these needs. As the business grows and things get more complex, they elevate and stay ahead of safety and security needs.
Belonging and Relationships
For business, relationships are about forming bonds of trust and working together as teams to solve problems, being efficient, and supporting one another.
It’s at this stage that you start to see the benefits of basic needs being met, i.e., safety needs, and psychological needs. Great companies focus on teams and positive relationships at work.
Esteem Stage
When the prior three needs are met, results driven mindsets create stages of wins—short, mid and long term. This creates a sense of accomplishment and esteem.
